    Except for the fact that the recommendations are completely FUBAR.

    My YouTube viewing is mostly vocal coach reaction videos, British comedy and music videos. Bit weird and nerdy, sure, but harmless.

    I was careless enough to click an unmarked link shared by a far right troll during a lemmy argument ONCE over half a year ago and I’m still getting recommended Jordan Peterson clips and other such garbage every time I watch something on YouTube rather than NewPipe or SmartTube.

    That’s not a bug BTW, that’s a feature of the recommendations algorithm working as intended.
